Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Alarm bells ringing clear
Break the calm before the fall
Bad news travels at the speed of flames
Good news not at all
Here we are again, playing in these games of war
Birds of prey
[Verse 2]
Without a light of warning
We dive into attack
Vengeful and self righteous
We turn the blue sky black
And wretched view escape
They'll be forever looking back
And I'll sacrifice
[Verse 3]
And the golden sun has risen
At the dawn, of a beautiful day
[Verse 4]
In the name of Anatoly
In the name of history
In the face of life and nature
We are driven by belief
I'll take the crumbling fortress
Once perfect and sublime
Will fail again, and rise again
Until the death, until the death of time
Written by: Bob Ezrin, Don Airey, Ian Gillan, Ian Paice, Roger Glover, Steve Morse
